It's finally here! Jak II has now officially released as an open beta on the OpenGOAL launcher.
What does this mean? This means that Jak II is 100% completable as a NATIVE PC PORT (with mod support).
Spread the word, retweet the news, this is huge.
Neil Druckmann saying that hand-animating is now obsolete is sad. I also don't see why motion capture specifically enhances storytelling.
There's a reason why the Jak and Daxter series has aged as well as it has.
Motion capture and hand-animating both have their place imo.
Neil Druckmann on Naughty Dog's new game: "I'm eager to see how this new game resonates, especially following the success of The Last of Us, as it could redefine mainstream perceptions of gaming."
The new game is "perhaps the most thrilling yet"
It's disappointing that we've never had an official Jak and Daxter comic series/graphic novel or animated adaptation.
The franchise would translate perfectly to those mediums.
YES!!
Daxter is finally making its way onto PS4 & PS5!
This means that every single Jak and Daxter game ever released is going to be officially playable on a single platform. I knew it was coming, but I didn't realise it was going to be this soon after The Lost Frontier.
Hype!
The PlayStation Plus Game Catalog for June includes:
🐊Monster Hunter Rise
⚽ Football Manager 2024
👑 Crusader Kings III
⛰️ Far Cry 4
🌱 After Us
🏰 Anno 1800
…and more. The full lineup
Today I proposed to my girlfriend (now fiancée). She then gifted me a ring which she had kept for when I proposed to her.
I’ve never delved into my personal life on here, but thought I’d make an exception for this.
Coolest. Ring. Ever.
"Sony is said to be "reversing course" and leveraging third parties to catch up on some IPs"
I really hope that this is true. It's time to bring these forgotten IPs back to the surface. 🙏
PlayStation is scaling back its GaaS ambitions it’s being reported 🤔

Oh I am so excited for Astro Bot! Jak and Daxter rep in the year of 2024 is a miraculous thing.
Here's hoping there's a J&D themed level in there somewhere 🤞
Today marks 20 years since the release of Jak II.
A special game that was truly ahead of its time.
Probably the best example of a media franchise going from light hearted to dark and edgy 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘶𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘬𝘴.
Okay, wow. I did not expect THIS!
Jak and Daxter: The Lost Frontier is coming to PS4/PS5 via the PlayStation Plus Classics Catalogue!
It's an enhanced version including:
• Up-rendering
• Rewind
• Quick save
• Custom video filters
Naughty Dog co-president Neil Druckmann says the studio has ‘moved on’ from the Uncharted series and could do the same with The Last of Us, should it decide not to proceed with a third mainline series entry
This is what it looks like on the PS Plus menu right now 🔥
Sony is pushing The Lost Frontier (and Jak and Daxter in general) more than I would have imagined.
No matter what you think about TLF, it's amazing to see this kind of representation for J&D in the year of 2024.

Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy turns 21 years old today 🎉
When the game was released in 2001, it was a technical achievement on so many levels. It holds the title as the first ever seamless 3D world in a console videogame.
The reason why The Precursor Legacy is the best:
The Precursor Legacy - Fishing ✅
Jak II - No Fishing ✖️
Jak 3 - No Fishing ✖️
Jak X - No Fishing ✖️
Daxter - No Fishing ✖️
The Lost Frontier - No Fishing ✖️
Why is it that Ratchet and Clank & Sly Cooper both have Funko POPs and upcoming Youtooz figurines, but Jak and Daxter have neither 💀
Please

let us give you money.
Please.
19 years ago today, the dark and daring sequel to Jak and Daxter was released on the PlayStation 2.
Do you have a favourite Jak II memory? If so, I'd like to hear it in the replies!
Kevin Conroy has sadly passed away at age 66. He voiced many iconic roles throughout his career, but his role as the Fisherman will always be near and dear to me.
Rest In Peace ❤️
How are we two years into the classic collection on PS+ and Daxter STILL hasn't been released on PS4/PS5?!
I mean, it's one of the top 10 best selling PSP titles of all time!
Jak 3 was released 18 years ago to this day, on November 9th 2004 🎉
Do you have any fond memories of playing this epic finale to the Jak and Daxter trilogy?
Since I upset some people by not including some other titles, this is the new and reformed version (for now).
Let me know if I've missed any more because I'm sure I have 😂
It's kinda sad that the Jak X arcade machine from The Last of Us: Left Behind didn't make it into the HBO episode last night.
Instead it was a random racing game called Daytona USA from 1994...
If you could choose the next Naughty Dog game, what would you choose?🚀
✅Uncharted
✅Jak and Daxter
✅The Last of Us
✅New IP
Let’s go!😎
